Running Crab Spider

When I was checking on the barn swallow nest, I just happened to look up. Saw this on the underside of the porch roof. Turned out to be a new spider species for me. In the genus of Philodromus which has 55 different species in North America. Despite its common name of running crab spider, it just sat there as I took its photo.
